I tried hanging those lights up across the back of the room thinking it would just look like a disaster and the black plastickyness of the cord would clash with all the natural elements I had in mind.
It was not pretty, people.Not pretty at all.
The cat litter didn’t get changed once.Overnight bags from Kennedy’s stay at her Grandma’s didn’t get unpacked for three days.I don’t even want to know what kind of stuff they ate for dinner (or if the pets ate dinner at all).
No one died, everyone was happy, but it’s not something that I personally want to live through if I can avoid it..I thought it might help my sanity if I printed out a basic list of what kinds of things I do in the morning, afternoon, and evening.
That way, if I’m all tied up with the baby, and Chris wants to know what needs to get done, I can just point him to my trusty binder with the lists in it, and he can take it from there (theoretically)..
The fact that it’s cute will just make me feel super organized and on top of things even if the house is falling apart around me a little.We have a lot of really big old maple trees on our property, with the four biggest ones kind of around the four corners of our house.
The very biggest one was right outside of our master bedroom window, but it had been dying a little more every year and making us more and more nervous with the big wind storms that we get out here all the time.It was a pretty tree though!.
We’ve actually had three or four arborists come out to look at it over the last few years and they’ve all said that it really just can’t be saved.Obviously you can’t tell when it’s mid-November and all the leaves are gone, but the whole front half right by the road was dead..
